Now I have got the hang of how all the profiles work choose a nickname done a picture I can get back to running.

Did my first 13.2mile outside run last week managed a time of 1:52.08, which I was very happy with then disaster, on Tuesday I was doing a gently 5 miles (on a tread mill) got towards the end of the run when I got a pain in the outside of my left foot anyone got any ideas what this could be, never happened before and I got no warning.

I intend to rest it for a week (good excuse not to do the 15.2 miles I had planned for this weeks long run) and see how it goes. Will do some upper body weight work to stop me going completely mad.

I'm training for FLM 2004 - I have a guaranteed charity place. My aim is 3hr 59 mins. This will be my first marathon. Took up running 18 months ago aged 38 to help reduce weight. I'm 5ft 8inches and was 14 and half stone. Now 12 and half stone. Did 10k in Spring in 50mins and raced first half marathon today in 1hr 50mins in pouring rain at Stevenage. I was a little disappointed as I run 13 miles every Sunday and have run 1hr 48 in training. Find the RW forums motivating and enjoyable.
